Plot

The film follows the life of Louis, who holds a trustworthy but subordinate job in a major company. He lives with his wife Sybèle and their daughter Anne-Marie, with whom he has a special relationship. He starts to grow sick of his seemingly mundane life, however, and starts to look for happiness elsewhere; this is where he starts discovering his attractions to men. He meets Yvan, a mysterious yet fascinating character, though the two do not pursue a sexual relationship. It is through Yvan however that Louis meets Frantz, a gay movie star. Their love only begins to unfurl the horrific events upon his horizon, which will ultimately change their lives forever.
